Preacher-pastor JoelBible Verse-Ezekiel 37:1~9Summary-Make no dryness in church.1)Jesus us the only peace in our/midst of our hopeless valley; Valley means sadness or depression(Philippians 4:7)-Peace of mind. Hopelessness is inevitable2)Jesus is the provision of our skeleton. in America, the old church was about to be closed. The members of church does not attend the church anymore. So what the pastor did was to make a funeral for the church. He invited all the members of thechurch. Each members came front saw from the coffin in front was mirror. They say themselves in the coffin. Mirror gives something. The Bible is great mirror for us. We are the bones and God restores.David confessed his sin about adultery with Bathsheba to God. (Psalms 51:12) 3)Jesus is our reconciliation- He is the only way and the bridge which connects us to God. All the bones, are dead. Immoral in the eyes of God and men. We don't have the right to call God' help in vein. We all have dry worship service,fellowship. We are saved by the grace of God and how can we be so dry? Jesus represents the water of life.(2 Cor 5:18)Reconciliation=ministryWho brought Ezekiel to the valley? The hand of God. It is merciful graceful and giving. Ezekiel was commanded to preach to the bones. So he did.(Verse 7) Meditation-There are so many interpretations about this Bible Verse. Yes. I don't know what kind of Joy Jesus told about me. So many  pastors say there is joy no matter how worse the situation goes. And they also say that there is life flowing through them.I don't know about those very well. Whether I do not feel, or I really don't have. But the miracle began from the mighty hand of God. Just once he said, 'let there be flesh,tendon and the breath, so did it so. Dry bones means lifeless. I was and is so.Completely it was life-less. The response of Ezekiel toward this question is quite impressive. "Lord, you know it", Then the power of God changed. He gave to life. I believe that this event represents about Jesus's cross. God, who gave himself gave us life. Just I really want to feel in my life about that joy.
